The fact that you can't even conceive of being able to distance yourself from Russia without escalating tensions with Russia is why your country where it is today. USSR and NATO didn't want to do with one another during the Cold War, but managed to avoid actual hot conflict. The fact that people can't even imagine peaceful coexistence today is rather depressing.

Or maybe your dad is just a liar Nick.

Donbas has always been the main issue between Ukraine and Russia, and if Zelensky actually followed through on his platform Russia would've likely not cared about Ukraine joining the EU. In fact, they even said as much. Instead, Zelensky did a 180 on what he said he'd do and now we are here.

While people making money from the war is certainly a big aspect of all this, the reality is that US can't produce ammunition at the rate it's being consumed. Two things can be true at the same time. Eventually, this grift will run its course and it will be the people of Ukraine who suffer in the end being led up the garden path by the west.

US industry accounts for only around 11% of its GDP nowadays, and the amount of shells US can produce today is laughable.

Army Secretary Christine Wormuth separately told reporters that the U.S. will go from making 14,000 155mm shells each month to 20,000 by the spring and 40,000 by 2025.

Biden has literally admitted that the reason cluster munitions are being sent is because US ran through the regular munition stocks.

You're not going to respond further because you know that the facts aren't on your side. No amount of name calling and personal insults is going to change that. You're either an ignoramus or a liar, either way not a good look.

What I post is a realistic analysis of the situation, and having delusional fantasies about the state of the war certainly isn't helping anybody. Also, last I checked Zelensky was elected on the platform of implementing Minsk and patching up relations with Russia. The fact that you would lie about something like this says volumes.

The reality is that America has hollowed out its industrial power and at this point can't produce weapons at the rate they're being consumed in this war. Furthermore, Ukraine isn't central to US interests because US is ultimately preparing for a war with China. What's going to happen in the end is that US will abandon Ukraine. Anybody who thinks that US will fight for Ukraine at the expense of US interests is historically illiterate.

Ah yeah that sounds right.

😀

In fact, it's pretty hard to think of a war since WW2 where US was on the right side of history.

Engaging with reality has nothing to do with hating Ukrainians. In fact, the only people who actually hate Ukrainians are the ones who want this war to keep going so that more people die or have their lives ruined. Anybody who looks at what happened over the past two years objectively can see that this has been an utter disaster for Ukraine, and it's only getting worse.

best say to stay sane :)
